Herrera Family reminisces as Daniel prepares for Senior Year in Midwest
All his life, Daniel Herrera has called the Coachella Valley home. But the now-former Palm Desert Aztec will be heading to Iowa and will rock an Ames orange singlet for his senior year.
His family expressed the bitter sweetness of enjoying Daniel live out his dreams but also being states away, especially his mom, Kathryn.
“I was very sad, you know, thinking about it. And now you know that it’s playing out. I’m just all the emotions are going through me. But number one is just joy, joy for him and the offer that he has to go out there.”
Daniel is the youngest of three and his siblings, Dalilah and Gabriel are both proud but admit they’ll miss seeing him often and being at his biggest events.
“It’s gonna be tough not seeing little brother perform here on the gridiron. And on the mat. It’s gonna take a little toll on me, my fellow sad, but it’s, it’s for him to be better to be a better person to be a better athlete,” said Gabriel, a staunch supporter of his brother online and in-person.
But his older sister, Dalilah says she knew this moment would come for her talented brother.
“I’m excited. I’m a little, obviously sad. I’m gonna miss him. But this is something that he’s been talking about and in the works for a while. So I’ve been preparing myself for him to kind of take this step soon. And it’s been a part of the big picture for a long time.”

As fall approaches, it’s time to start thinking about your annual flu shot. The CDC recommends flu vaccination every season for nearly everyone 6 months and older, and September or October is generally the ideal time for most people to get vaccinated. The 2026-27 flu vaccines have been updated to target the strains expected to circulate this season. There’s also a new option this year: Moderna’s mFLUSIVA, the first FDA-approved mRNA flu vaccine, for adults 50 and older. Talk with your health care provider about which flu vaccine is right for you and make a plan to get vaccinated this fall.
